HOPE Clinic Featured in Minnesota Physician Magazine

June, 2009 -- The HOPE Clinic is featured on Westra_Lange

the front page and inside spread of the June issue of Minnesota Physician, an independent medical business newspaper published by Minnesota Physician Publishing which also plans to place the article in its consumer publication, Minnesota Health Care News. Written by Ruth Westra, DO, Chair of the Family Medicine Department—Duluth (on left with Marie Lange, MSIII), the story outlines the development of Health of People Everywhere (HOPE) Clinic. Run by an interprofessional group of medical and pharmacy students supported by faculty advisors, and funded by donations, the clinic is open once a week to uninsured patients at a drop-in center for homeless and low-income people in downtown Duluth.

The story also includes photos by Duluth-campus photographer, Daniel Schlies, and a side-bar written by Nicholas Vidor and Marie Lange entitled: “The Student’s Perspective of HOPE Clinic.” Vidor and Lange were among the students who led the final plans to open the HOPE Clinic. Minnesota Physician does not publish an online magazine and has given its permission for us to reprint the article.

Sun Protection and Skin Cancer

HLTHTALK Lee Peter Sun protection is important. In the United States, skin cancer is the number one form of cancer. This may be due to the fact that we live in a society that views tanning as desirable. But in reality, tanned and pink skin are indicators of skin damage, which may lead to skin cancer.

Peter Lee, M.D., Ph.D., is director of the Dermatologic Surgery and Laser Center and professor of dermatology at the University of Minnesota Medical School.
